On Saturday 1st of December I'll be exhibiting in Amsterdam at the international exhibition of contemporary art called Amsterdam Showcase. This amazing exhibit will be held in the historic building, De Oude Kerk.

De Oude Kerk ('The Old Church') is the oldest building in the city and was built around 1300. This church eventually grew in to the impressive medieval monument known today.

The Old Church isn't just used as a place of worship, but also as a
concert hall, wedding venue, and exhibition and reception area. It is
called Amsterdam's living room. This has always been the case: Fishermen
repaired their nets, Sweelinck played the organ, and Rembrandt took out
his marriage licence here. Generations of Amsterdam’s citizens,
including the naval hero Van Heemskerck, are buried in this European
monument.
